Hey hi everybody,
This is my first post over here and i had some stuff to clarify that i've been going over the past few months. So i'll present my profile and situation,any one with relevant experience/knowledge is welcome to answer and help clarify my doubts.Going away from home to study overseas is a huge investment and makes one nervous with all the hurdles and restrictions to overcome causes anxiety as each one's case is different. So to give an overview this is what i've done up until recently :

(I reside in India so...)

1) SSC - 71 %

2) HSC - 55 % (Science stream)

3) B.Sc Visual Communication (Indian Degree) with a specialization in Animation & VFX(Offered as a certificate from a recognized Australian global educational organisation) Just finished [Awaiting final results]
(Maintained aggregate of around 70-80 %)

4) I do have a short time Work exp in a reputed globally known broadcast network with supporting letters.

So now here's the situation that is unique to my case : After completing my HSC i.e Grade/Std +12... i enrolled for a engineering degree of 4 years (Computer Science) like most of my peers.I had a tough time in few subjects but the most being in math. Due to that one subject i couldn't continue and dropped out in 2 years of joining and in the 3rd year of that course i instead immediately enrolled for my current bachelor's program which has been much a better option.This obviously has occurred due to unavailability or being unaware of applied arts & tech courses that i was interested in after my HSC. I was interested in computer graphics but knew not what to pursue.

So keeping the above in mind, what would be the chances of acquiring a study permit in my case? I have targeted technical arts courses in colleges relevant to my degree but i am very much interested in a Masters degree perhaps in Advertising/Marketing which actually is in my field but i have doubts whether the VO would see it the same way.Will universities accept me even though my uni has a NAAC "B".Please kindly guide me on the same.

Well, The job situation is quite pathetic even for STEM students who are pretty much working in coffee shops and other low living jobs. To get PR , You must have work experience related to your field which hard to get considering your Vishal arts degree. Most undergraduate students here in Canada find it easy to get into visual arts jobs because it requires a great deal of English which most international students don't posses. So, A lot of companies don't hire international students for jobs that need strong English speaking skills unless you're an undergraduate who've graduatedfrom a 4 year degree in Canada like me. It took me almost 2 months to find a job in NOC A while most masters international students were still working in coffee shops and going back home. Let me tell you something , Try your best to do another bachelors degree here in Canada or do a computer science pgdiploma. Even PG diploma wouldn't get you a job easily , You'll have to compete with other International students to get placed. Believe me , There are a lot of these guys with no proper educational background applying for PG diploma .So, You'll have to somehow find a job which will eventually get you your PR
